Fans were mesmerized by Ghanaian NFL star Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah as he proudly displayed his rich background in traditional Kente clothing prior to the Cleveland Browns’ 2023–24 season opener versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
Ahead of the game, linebacker Owusu-Koramoah donned a bright Kente fabric, embellished with vibrant Ghanaian patterns, and finished his traditional attire with sandals, paying homage to the culture and traditions of his birthplace. He next performed the well-known Adowa dance, which highlights important Ashanti customs, to the audience’s delight.
Fans were genuinely moved by the sight of Owusu-Koramoah embracing his Ghanaian background with pride, demonstrating the effectiveness of sports in promoting cultural understanding and celebrating diversity.
The passion and pride Owusu-Koramoah demonstrated off the field seemed to carry over as the game progressed. Against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Cleveland Browns found themselves comfortably in the lead. The Browns had a 24-3 advantage going into the fourth quarter, setting up an exciting clash.
The Cleveland Browns are attempting to improve upon their disappointing regular-season AFC North regular-season result from the previous year.
